JAPAN is the only country that was atom-bombed in World War 2 by the only country that atom-bombed another country to end a war that was already at its end.
Defeated and devastated in 1945, Japan accepted from the American occupation forces in 1947 a pacifist Constitution that prohibits it from waging war against any nation. Japan thus became the only country in the world to renounce its sovereign right to defend itself by military means.
During the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf war, which followed after Iraq invaded Kuwait, Japan provided substantial funding to the US-led coalition of 35 nations that mobilized against the invasion. After signing the Peacekeeping Operations Law in 1992, Japan became active in peacekeeping. It dispatched self-defense forces to 18 UN peacekeeping operations in various parts of the world.
